Arizona= Zona Cero

Una cartita que recogí de un blog(citado más abajo):

" Friends and colleagues:

I have just finished reading through the text of the law that has been enacted in Arizona targeting undocumented immigrants. I have been studying the laws of the United States and working on civil rights issues for fifteen years, but I have never seen a more appalling and dehumanizing statute in present-day America than this measure.

It is not merely that this statute declares an entire class of human beings to be inherently criminal — trespassers on all public and private land in Arizona because of their status. It is not merely that the law requires police and other law enforcement agents in Arizona to treat an entire population as presumptively criminal on the basis of their race and appearance. It is not merely that the statute effectively requires lawful immigrants to carry papers wherever they go in order to avoid arrest and detention, as if we were living in apartheid-era South Africa or half-slave / half-free pre-Civil War America.

What is yet more appalling is this: If, tomorrow, every undocumented immigrant in Arizona simply left or disappeared, the economy of that state would collapse. The purpose of this law is not to get rid of all undocumented immigrants. The purpose of this law is to disempower all brown-skinned immigrants in Arizona, turning them into a third-class group who must live in constant fear of government and are subject to arbitrary abuse and exploitation.

LGBT people know what it means to be declared by statute to be inherent criminals — to be told that we are illegal people. Transgender people know what it means to be told that their very being, dress or appearance makes them inherently suspicious and subject to arrest and detention.

We must stand up against this law, and we must do so loudly and strongly.

En resumen, es una carta dirigida hacia la comunidad LGBT estadounidense, de parte del Profesor Tobias Barrington Wolff, de la Escuela de Leyes de la Universidad de Pennsylvania. El Profesor hace un llamado a SU comunidad, a levantarse en contra de las leyes fascistas* que se proclamaron en el estado de Arizona, con respecto al trato con* los ilegales hispanos. El gobierno estatal de Arizona ha decidido llevar las medidas en contra de los ilegales hasta el punto de que atentan contra los derechos de sus propios ciudadanos de "etnia" "latina". Piden que todo "latinou" "legal" lleve su identificación a todos lados, como estrella de david, para que así, los "pinches gringos puñeteros" sepan cuales son los "ilegales". 2010 en USA va a parecerse mucho a Alemania 1933. Y no es solo una rima, es una realidad.


*Uso el termino fascista en la ascepción de "maniático conservador, completamente ignorante o con segundas intenciones de beneficio lucrativo personal, que impone medidas absolutamente irracionales en pos de ese beneficio intencionado" aunque, la ascepción "de extrema derecha" viene a ser lo mismo.

*Nótese el "con" ya que humanos somos todos, el trato "de" es con las cosas. El "de" es una estupidez legal que apoya el trato como cosas de las personas.

Estos gringos no saben como cagarla más.
